Lou kinda looks like a D&D nerd. I remember he's said he really believes that making music is really like making magic. I feel like he was a nerd who wanted to become and magical wizard, and he's now one of the most powerful magicians alive.
oddly, lou doesn't look frightened. perhaps b/c it was cameras & not live bhuman beings. but: lou & bob "magnet's coil" is genius, i actually remember this from 17 yrs ago.... and i grew up listening to husker du as well.
Elizabeth Montgomery--in 1999, you took me for a walk in Boulder, CO, and trashed me. If I would have the state of mind, the lil' ol' tune at 5:16 woulda summed up my thoughts perfectly.
Both groups have similar histories: Bob and Lou we're both in trio, Lou was kicked out of his Dino because J. was a control freak, Grant (Du drummer) was kicked out because Bob was a control freak, both bands and members alike we're the underdogs of the Alternative scene, both bands we're on SST, both gave SST 3 of the GREATEST ALBUMS EVER and to finish it off all 6 men in both trios made me wanna play guitar.
its hard to see what MTV has become, back during these days you had 120 Minutes, Alternative Nation, Beavis and Butthead, Liquid Television, Headbangers Ball all on MTV..long live the 90s!
Was so suprised to see both these names on the same video. 120 minutes had to be the best program in MTV history. Always featured great artists such as these two.
greasiest duet ever

I've been to the record store that Bob was probably referring to. Burlington Records in Burlington Vt. It's a great store.

Magnet's Coil sounds beautiful with the two guitars. Lou's such an underrated guitarist.
